LU Arts is offering nine arts scholarships that are open to students across our Loughborough & London campuses.

Who can apply?

Scholarships will be awarded to students who have a passion and commitment to a particular art form and who would benefit from a package of support that would enable them to develop their skill and knowledge in their field of interest.

In return, LU Arts expect recipients to actively contribute to the creative life of the University through delivering and participating in events that showcase the best of our student talent.

What’s included?

All of the scholarships have a cash prize and a tailored programme of mentoring. The music scholarships are aimed at supporting high-level musicians and singers in further developing their abilities.

There are a total of 9 scholarships on offer, in the following areas:

3 x instrumental scholarships

2 x choral scholarships
